Cleveland Browns linebacker Joe Schobert has only been the starting inside linebacker for the past two seasons. In those two seasons, the 25-year-old has quickly shown that he is one of the most talented, and most underrated, players at the position.
In 2017, his first season playing inside linebacker, Schobert tied for the lead league with 142 total tackles. The Browns had the seventh-best rush defense in 2017 and Schobert’s presence in the middle of the field was vital in slowing down an opposing rushing attack.
Schobert did not have the same tackling season in 2018, finishing the season with only 103 total tackles.
